Studies are reviewed that examine how perceptual and attentional systems operate in the cortically disconnected human. The data indicate that even though both simple and complex perceptual information associated with the cognitive activities of each disconnected half brain show virtually no interactions, the attentional system remains largely integrated in the split-brain patient. It also appea...

Converging lines of evidence from diverse research domains suggest that the left and right hemispheres play distinct, yet complementary, roles in inferential reasoning. Here, we review research on split-brain patients, brain-damaged patients, delusional patients, and healthy individuals that suggests that the left hemisphere tends to create explanations, make inferences, and bridge gaps in info...

Aqueous Solvation Method for Recombinant Spider Silk Proteins

give access to the through pavements only at limited intervals. Where pavements pass through highly developed areas, I think such service drives will be necessary to overcome constant interference of traffic turning in and out of the property with through traffic. These service drives would not, of course, be improved to nearly as high type as the through pavements. In most cases a surfacing of...

The Young Scholars Program at the Institute for Systems Research of the University of Maryland at College Park is an innovative summer research experience for high school students from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. Its goal is to steer talented high school seniors toward higher education and careers in science and engineering. One particularly popular component of this program is a tw...

Translating R&D and inventive efforts into a market product is characterized by significant financial skills, and the ability to overcome technical and instititonal barriers. Research into and translation of new technologies such as biotechnology products to the market requires even greater resources. This paper aims to understand the key factors that foster or hinder the complex process of tra...

Over the past decade or so, aided by information and communication technologies, money laundering has seen a sharp increase. While traditionally money laundering was associated with drug cartels and warlords, increasingly the focus has shifted towards white-collar crime and terrorist financing. It is therefore important to understand why money laundering (and hence white-collar crime) comes int...
